No-one is more lethal than Haf in this area. His XR for last season was 4.36 per 90 minutes.

The bald fraud sure is obsessed with signing below average dutch players

He had no impact whatsoever in the 60 seconds he got against England. Waste of €42m.

Tbf I’d say he’s on par for a Dutch player.

He’s 23, 6 ft 4 and has a bit of pace. Could well be a very good back up striker, or even more if he kicks on, but either way he strengthens the squad.

But is it going to address the fact that United struggle to score. 57 goals this season, 58 last. ETH is firing blanks a bit

If a top scorer was not their priority this summer, i find this half way house an odd choice. 40m euros is not a small sum.

It's a poor signing but people feel the blow has been softened by the fact that he is "cheap" (he isn't), and was the best young player of the year in the league he played in or something.

Either way, we shall see

I wouldn’t be surprised if he dispaced Hojlund if he can hit the ground running. He looks much better suited to playing with Rashford, and is a much more rounded footballer.

He could be your Gakpo. If you’ve got a fourth or fifth forward knocking in 10-15 goals a season it’s a proper bonus. He was £50m, and that’s how much GOOD squad players cost.

As Darren says though, there is every chance he hits the ground running.

On top of that, is he a good pro? EtH does like to sign them (even if some have not quite worked out), but I doubt you’ll see Zirkzee missing training cos he was out clubbing.

Seems a measured signing to me, don’t really get the negativity.

posted on 12/7/24

I’d hazard a guess that those being negative haven’t seen him play even 600 minutes of football fwiw

He's already played 150 games and got 100 goals for us

I've only watched him at Bayern which tbh is too long ago to make any real judgement. It does seem that he's suffering from the dutch prejudice from ETH's detractors.

And only 58 the season before those two with Ronaldo up front scoring 18 PL goals.

The issue we have is that we don’t score enough collectively. We absolutely need another CF just to take some of the burden off of Rasmus, and ideally one that offers different qualities to him. Zirkzee looks superior at brining others into the game compared to Rasmus so whilst he might not be prolific himself, he may help knit attacks together better and help improve our overall goal threat.

The goal scoring issue however is lack of goals across the team. We need our wide attackers & support cast to contribute more than they did last season. Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, Amad, Sancho, Martial & Mount scored 18 PL goals between last season. That’s an average of 2.5 goals per player in the PL… A shambles really.

Rashford, Mount & Garnacho I’d hope to see improve their returns through better form (Rash), better fitness (Mount) and another year of development (Garnacho).

Amad looked like he could offer more than Antony and Sancho towards the very end of the season but I’d still hope to see more from Antony despite him not really looking good enough.

He’s a CF. Why would he push Rashford?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the majority of his goals come from the left, and I dont see ETH stunting Hojlunds development by dropping him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hojlund can’t be expected to start every match. It’s a squad game and Zirkzee will be competing & in rotation with Hojlund.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the same not apply for Garnacho? (Being unable to play every game) and less so Rashford
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, obviously. Why are you asking dumb questions?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

BecUse you only referred to him rotating with Hojlund, not the others
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you tell us whether you really are super dense, or is this some weird act?

Rashford & Garnacho will compete for the left, and Garnacho, Amad & Antony will be in rotation and competing on the right.

Zirkzee will rotate with Hojlund. It’s not complicated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears to be for you mate.

Zirkee will deffo play with Hojlund. How often will.depend on the form of others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does he play for us?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not yet but not sure of your point here.

Some of our fans just like wallow in self pity... Coping mechanism, I guess.

Really don’t see how Zirkzee and Holland play in the same side btw, unless EtH suddenly changes his entire philosophy, which he won’t.

Oops, Hojlund
